ARLINGTON, Texas. — Don’t look for Aaron Judge in the Home Run Derby during the All-Star break in July.
In March, the Yankees right fielder said he was leaning toward not defending the title he won a year ago. Tuesday, before the Yankees faced the Rangers at Globe Life Park, Judge told The Post he will skip the event.
“There is no need to do it,’’ Judge said about defending his title, which he copped a year ago in Miami.
Until MLB received official word that Judge would be in the Derby last year, the league made it very clear Judge’s participation would be a boost to the made-for-TV event.
